Express Entry Step by step instructions.

Thank you so much for your reply
I will check with the bank first that the letter they will prepare meets CIC requirements, then just before submitting the e-APR i will ask them to print it and sign it for me with the date of that day.
What are the other documents that need to be as recent as possible?

Thank you

Good plan. Just that and your medicals I guess. Local PCC can be dated within 6 months.

We took the medical Test on 30 january because we already received an ITA and applied for PR on the 31st January, but it was bounced for incompleteness because of our immigration consultant who did not do thing correctly.
I guess we can still use this medical test it is valid for 12 months
Right?

Hello again,

My marriage certificate is not in English or french and I have an official translation. Do you I have to submit this translation plus the original marriage certificate in the same document in my e-APR?
Can you please confirm me that these are the right documents? I saw in CIC that they are talking about affidavit ...

Thank you

Hi All,

I recently got ITA and still wondering wether to decline or not due to Proof of Funds. I haven't got the required $12000 CAD in my account, actually I had this balance 8 months ago but withdrew the money. Having said that, I cofounded a startup and have raised some funding from investors and even awarded for best startup of the year. The company's now valued £3.2M in London and I have 50% of the company. Having said this, I'm wondering if a Gift of Shares might be worth it in my case to show I have been issued the shares.

Also, the company can write me a check as part of my 50% equity to show the money needed, can I include this check in my application?

I really would like to follow through with my application as I don't want to wait 6 months to start putting the money if I decline this invitation

Kindly advise with any thoughts or routes I might be able to show the POF.

Much appreciated!

Hello Experts,

I have translated my German PCC through ATIO certified translator. I have submitted below documents for PCC

1) Original Germany PCC with color scan.
2) Declaration from translator with Golden Seal of translator.
3) English translation copy with Golden Seal of translator.
4) Photocopy of german PCC in black and white with Golden Seal of translator

Will it be any issue due to point 4 ?

Hello

Do you need the Declaration from translator even if the translator is a certified one?

It would be helpful if this guide could be updated to include the actual application process itself rather than just focusing on the preliminary EOI/ITA process. It would also be good to include the common pitfalls that people often fall into that can lead to a rejected application or someone being deemed inadmissible.

Hi,

Just one quick question please. Is it possible that IRCC would request for an updated bank statement together with passport request? if Yes, What are the exceptional circumstances?

Thanks.

Could anybody tell me which is the best province to select while applying for Express Entry and also which gives less weightage to French as a second language, as I do not speak french.

I m confused regarding point 6 E (Job letter). What kind of job letter is required. Why would current HR provide me letter if I inform them that I am planning to leave their job and move to Canada. This requirement seems tough to be fulfilled.

Any thoughts how to get these?

It's all on the CIC site: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/index.asp

But...

(Please note that this info does not apply to the Federal Skilled Trades Program)

1) Determine your eligibility by doing this CIC quiz http://www.cic.gc.ca/ctc-vac/ee-start.asp

2) Get your language test(s) done. You must get at least CLB 7 in each of the four sections for the Federal Skilled Worker (FSW), Provincial Nomination Program (PNP) or Canadian Experience Class (CEC) streams. But getting CLB 10 gives you maximum points for language.

How does CLB match back to the language tests? That info is here --> http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/language/charts.asp

3) Get your qualifications assessed by doing an Education Credential Assessment. Details here --> http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/assessment.asp

4) Determine the code that best applies to you on the National Occupation Classification (NOC) list http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/noc.asp

The occupation must be NOC 0, A, or B for FSW or CEC.

5) When you have those in hand you create your express entry profile. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/profile.asp and register for the Job Bank http://www.jobbank.gc.ca/home-eng.do?lang=eng

You'll be given points based on your age, education, number of years work experience, and language skills. The points system is detailed here --> http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/express-entry/grid-crs.asp

You'll be in a pool with thousands of other applicants http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/pool.asp

Of course, the more points you have the better. The max is 1200, with 600 of those points coming from your ability to snag a PNP or a job offer with a very hard to get Labour Market Impact Assessment http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/work/employers/lmo-basics.asp

For CEC applicants, the max is 600 but someone who has no work experience in Canada who is only eligible for FSW can only get up to 520 points.

6) Finally, wait for your invitation to apply (ITA). But in the interim you will need to do the following:

a) Have your application fee (C$550 each for principal applicant and spouse) and right of permanent resident fee (C$490 each for principal applicant and spouse) ready
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/fees/fees.asp

b) Identify how you will provide proof of funds http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/funds.asp

c) check out what is required for the police certificates http://www.cic.gc.ca/English/information/security/police-cert/index.asp

d) find out how long it takes to get a date for the medical exam. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/medical/medexams-perm.asp

e) contact previous and current employers about them providing job letters. You must have at least 12 months of full-time, or an equal amount in part-time, skilled work experience. Full-time work means at least 30 hours of paid work per week. Work experience while you were a full-time student does not count.

f) research cities in the province(s) where you want to live.

If ITA has been received can we update/ modify the information which was mentioned in the profile created earlier?

 

[TanakaM]

Hi,

Just one quick question please. Is it possible that IRCC would request for an updated bank statement together with passport request? if Yes, What are the exceptional circumstances?

Thanks.

Technically yes, they can ask for updates at any time. They will just be confirming whether you still have the funds or not. BUT together with PPR is a bit odd.

 

[TanakaM]

If ITA has been received can we update/ modify the information which was mentioned in the profile created earlier?

Your EE profile is locked once you get an ITA, but you can put the updated information in your PR application and explain the changes in your LOE.

Hi guys
I need help on following questions. I have got my ITA and need help with document submission.

1. For the passport, it says to submit front page, back page and visa page along with all the stamps. So do i submit a copy of all the pages from my current and old passport with previous visas and immigration stamps?
2. For me and my spouse, they have asked for educational degrees so do I submit copy of all degrees or just WES document will be enough?
3. In the document checklist, they do not ask me to upload my birth certificate, but do I need to still submit this?

Regards
Ameer
